Legend:

'''This example is based on an outdated version of Django and will no longer work with the current development version at all due to changes in subclassing and the removal of the 'replaces_module' option. A separate way of dealing with this problem which works in both older and current versions of Django is detailed here: http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2006/06/06/django-tips-extending-user-model'''
